    Summary

    “It’s all about their weaknesses,” the coach’s voice echoes through the stadium. “This is Ottawa, they hardly have any strengths aside from their goalie and Ilya Rozanov. The rest of the team isn’t much to be concerned about.”

    “That’s offensive,” a voice cuts through the speech.

    Everyone looks up to find Ilya Rozanov standing a few feet away. Nonchalantly leaning against a pillar and looking fucking hot while doing it. Shane mentally whacks himself for letting his mind drift anywhere close to the boundary that he has set up for while being on the ice. No thought of how hot his fiancé is or what he wants to–

    Hayden nudges him hard. Everyone is looking at him, but he has no idea what happened, too lost in his own thoughts because of Ilya fucking Rozanov.

    “I said,” Ilya’s voice sounds, and in an instant Shane’s eyes are on his fiancé again. “I’d like to have a word with your captain.”

    OR: Ilya picks Shane up after practice, with the idea of having lunch with his fiancé. They run into some Centaurs and Shane, although he may deny it, gets a little jealous of how affectionate they're allowed to be with his fiancé. Biting his tongue is getting increasingly more difficult.

    Summary

    “Hi Milana,” he murmured, voice gentle. “I’m Ilya, your father’s brother. Did your mama tell you I was coming over?”

    Milana nodded and pulled her bottom lip into her mouth, gaze contemplative as Ilya held out a hand to her. He didn’t touch her, didn’t broach the barrier of the doorframe, just held his palm out, a gesture of vulnerability, exposing soft skin. When he’d been a child, listening out for the sound of his father’s footfalls down the hall, trying to guess at what mood the man was in that day, if today was a day he would likely be hit, those gestures of vulnerability–upturned palms, tears on cheeks–had been the only thing he’d trusted. The wounded animal in his sternum reaching out for comfort, seeking safety in the fragility of others. Proof that he wasn’t the weakest one.

    Or: After spending Christmas with the Hollanders Ilya realises he has unfinished business in Moscow; namely, saying goodbye to his mother's grave and recovering the pieces of his history. Before meeting Shane at the cottage for their second summer together - and before upending his life and moving to another country once again - Ilya decides to return to his home city and attempt to lay his past to rest.

    Summary

    "Do you ever wish I was softer?" he asks Ilya. "That I was less stubborn or more...I don't know. Sweet?"

    They're lying in bed, legs intertwined and bodies tangled together under the sheets, still naked from the night before. It's a quiet Sunday morning, sun peeking through the curtains and warming Shane's half of the bed. Ilya's hand curls at the nape of his neck, fingers working through the knots in Shane’s hair.

    Ilya hums before, "You think you are not sweet?"

    or, shane worries he's not enough of an omega and ilya helps remind him that he is.

    Summary

    Shane loses his game to a blizzard and his boyfriend to a bad hit, all in the same night.

    Snowed in with his parents in Montreal, he watches Ilya get stretchered off on live TV, and discovers that when your relationship is a secret, no one at the hospital thinks to call you.

    In Ottawa, Ilya wakes up with broken bones, a serious concussion, and a neatly edited brain. The months where he was lonely and depressed and fighting with Shane? Gone. He’s mentally living in the soft, hopeful beginning of things—and the more everyone tiptoes around him, the more wrong it feels.

    The Centaurs step up. The Hollanders dig in. Shane tries to convince himself that “temporary amnesia” is not the same thing as losing him.

    They’re still together. They’re technically fine.
